I do the same, and I use them to wipe debris off from my plants, for manicuring my nails, to make art for holidays, the sky is the limit. Check this link http://www.care2.com/greenliving/12-surprising-uses-for-cotton-balls.html
I hope I helped. Good luck!
I use them for crafts or removing nail polish. Love Ali's link!
You can use them to soak up melted Scentsy wax when you want/need to change it out.
I would throw them away because they have dust from whatever medicine was in the bottle
I save mine to use for stuffing hand made toys for a new baby.
I use them for nail polis removal. I have also used them for stuffing in those tiny sachet squares (3" x3"). I mix the tiny shreads of fragrant soap, or essential oils, perfume, or potpourri with the cotton. If using perfume or oils.....let dry completely.
Cut out a design of a snow man and glue the cotton balls to cover it give it some black eyes a pink nose and a big smile for your front door deco for Christmas and you can also use old white socks and put some gloves on them stuff them with stuffing and use for hand glue them from the back of the snowman for arms
Hi Pao: You can make small toys for babies and stuff them with the cotton, then donate the toys to a Children's Hospital or a Woman's Shelter where there are little kids, who will enjoy them :)
